Hosea 8:4-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
4
They have set up kings, but not by Me;
They have appointed officials, but I did not know
it.
With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves,
So that they will be eliminated.
5
He has rejected your calf, Samaria,
saying,
'My anger burns against them!'
How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6
For from Israel
comes
even this!
A craftsman made it, so it is not God;
Assuredly, the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
7
For they sow wind
And they harvest a storm.
The standing grain has no kernels;
It yields no grain.
If it were to yield, strangers would swallow it.
King James Version
Chapter 8
4
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
5
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
6
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
4
They have installed kings,
but not through me.
They have appointed leaders,
but without my approval.
They make their silver and gold
into idols for themselves
for their own destruction.
5
Your calf-idol is rejected, Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6
For this thing is from Israel—
a craftsman made it, and it is not God.
The calf of Samaria will be smashed to bits!
7
Indeed, they sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.
There is no standing grain;
what sprouts fails to yield flour.
Even if they did,
foreigners would swallow it up.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
4
The people have appointed kings without my consent,
and princes without my approval.
By making idols for themselves from their silver and gold,
they have brought about their own destruction.
5
'O Samaria, I reject this calf —
this idol you have made.
My fury burns against you.
How long will you be incapable of innocence?
6
This calf you worship, O Israel,
was crafted by your own hands!
It is not God!
Therefore, it must be smashed to bits.
7
'They have planted the wind
and will harvest the whirlwind.
The stalks of grain wither
and produce nothing to eat.
And even if there is any grain,
foreigners will eat it.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
4
They made kings, but not through me.
They set up princes, but I knew it not.
With their silver and gold they made idols
for their own destruction.
5
I have spurned your calf, O Samaria.
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of innocence?
6
For it is from Israel;
a craftsman made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samaria
shall be broken to pieces.
7
For they sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
it shall yield no flour;
if it were to yield,
strangers would devour it.
New International Version
Chapter 8
4
They set up kings without my consent;
they choose princes without my approval.
With their silver and gold
they make idols for themselves
to their own destruction.
5
Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?
6
They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
it is not God.
It will be broken in pieces,
that calf of Samaria.
7
"They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no head;
it will produce no flour.
Were it to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it up.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
4
“They set up kings, but not by Me;
They made princes, but I did not acknowledge
them.
From their silver and gold
They made idols for themselves—
That they might be cut off.
5
Your calf is rejected, O Samaria!
My anger is aroused against them—
How long until they attain to innocence?
6
For from Israel
is
even this:
A workman made it, and it
is
not God;
But the calf of Samaria shall be broken to pieces.
7
“They sow the wind,
And reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no bud;
It shall never produce meal.
If it should produce,
Aliens would swallow it up.
